Gul Makai
...is well-intentioned but as a film, it flails about, overusing background music, abruptly ending scenes, not convincingly recreating an environment and shortchanging its subject.

Rocky Handsome
The punch-by-numbers action scenes are not enough to save a poorly adapted film with poorly pitched performances, out-of-tune casting and tacky execution.

Tera Intezaar
I don’t think my brain cells have died quicker, and the ones that lived are unwilling to forgive me!

Ujda Chaman
The director amps up the background music and sound effects in an attempt to underline the lame attempts at humour and also forgoes finesse and subtlety in storytelling.

Tutak Tutak Tutiya
Touted as a ‘horror-comedy’ writer-director Vijay’s Tutak Tutak Tutiya will remind you of Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiya and while there’s plenty of lowbrow humour in the film there’s barely any horror.

Great Grand Masti
...if there’s one remarkable thing about this film, it’s that Shivdasani, Deshmukh and Oberoi see merit in reprising their parts as lascivious men driven by under-serviced libidos, and invest those roles with such energy and commitment.

Department
If you accept that Varma is spoofing his own films and the genre of underworld action movies, then Department is hilarious!

Hawaizaada
At 157 minutes, most of Vibhu Puri’s film is indulgence and fiction that is trying to connect points of fact. The padding is painfully dull and distracts from the drama, energy and patriotic zeal that could have propelled this story.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2
You really have to ask yourself about the maturity of the scriptwriters who have clearly given vent to their misogyny through this immature sequel to the 2011 film.
